What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP


Here is what I own. A 1984-1985 Linn with BASIK PLUS ARM and no Valhalla. Other wise it is stock. What is my best course? 1) Buy a new component (Linn)and add upgrades I like. 2) Buy parts as they become available on Audiogon and build a top grade player with my old once as a starting point 3. Buy a used player that meets my needs and wishes.

I look forward to your help

Add a Linn Itok LVII tonearm and a Hercules power supply and sit back and enyoy your table. While you at it, give your table a good tune-up; new oil, springs, gromets,etc.
A used Linn Ittok LVII will set you back $600. A used Hercules power supply cost $200 or brand new at $300.

What used VPI table costing $1,000 are you suggesting?

VPI and Linn sound quite different.
